The application discloses a method of
millimeter wave attenuation measurement and a
system thereof. The method comprises: dividing a
millimeter wave
signal into a
radio frequency test
signal and a
radio frequency reference
signal; carrying out
frequency conversion on the two
radio frequency signals to form audio signals; and respectively carrying out
voltage dividing on an audio test signal beforeand after
insertion of the measured attenuator, using an audio reference signal for coherent receiving on the audio test signal to obtain two
signal intensity values, enabling second signal intensityto be equal to first
signal intensity, recording a first
voltage dividing ratio and a second
voltage dividing ratio, and calculating an attenuation value of the measured attenuator. The
system of theinvention includes a
radio frequency signal generator, a first directional coupler, an inductive
voltage divider, a test unit, a reference unit, a lock-in
amplifier and the measured attenuator. According to the method and the
system, a two-channel signal measurement manner is employed, a measurement circuit is enabled to be stabler, the problem that
external reference frequency and
audio signal frequency of lock-in amplifiers of single-channel systems are not synchronized is solved, and the reference signal provided to the lock-in
amplifier is very accurate.
